This new chain has the potential to become a new industry to become and to take sustainable. Textile industry on the world market share of the cotton sector<\/p>\n
StexFibers has developed a technique to refine, hemp fibers, so that they can be used for the production of high quality yarns. Textile and clothing manufacturers get that way a new and far more sustainable raw materials at their disposal.
